PRIOR ART

With a rapid increase in the population of the aged, the establishment of medical treatment for senile dementia such as Alzheimer's disease is eagerly demanded.

Although various treatments of senile dementia with medicines have been attempted, no medicine essentially effective-for these diseases has been developed as of yet.

Various investigations are in progress for the purpose of developing therapeutic agents for these diseases. Particularly, the development of acetylcholine precursors and acetylcholine esterase inhibitors has been proposed, since Alzheimer's disease is associated with cerebral cholinergic hypofunction, and they are on being tested. Typical examples of the anticholinergic esterase inhibitors include physostigmine and tetrahydroaminoacridine. However, they have defects in that their effects are yet insufficient and that they have adverse reactions. Thus there are no decisive therapeutic agents at present.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Under these circumstances, the inventors have made intensive investigations of various compounds for a long period of time for the purpose of developing a medicine having high safety and a long-lasting effect.

As the result, the inventors have found that the purpose can be attained by using derivatives of the general formula (I) given below.

In particular, the compounds of the present invention represented by the structural formula (I) given below have features that they have potent, highly selective antiacetylcholine esterase activity in order to increase the quantity of acetylcholine in the brain, that they are effective for the therapy of models of the disturbance of memory, and that their effect lasts for a longer time, and they have a higher safety than those of physostigmine frequently used in this field. The present invention is thus highly valuable.

The compounds of the present invention have been found on the basis of acetylcholine esterase inhibition and, therefore, they are effective for the treatment and prevention of various diseases due to insufficiency of the central choline functions, i.e. lack of acetylcholine as the neurotransmitter in vivo.

Typical examples of such diseases include dementias represented by Alzheimer's presbyophrenia. They include also Huntington's chorea, Pick's disease and tardive dyskinesia.

Therefore, objects of the present invention are to provide new piperidine derivatives usable as a medicine and particularly effective for the treatment and prevention of central nervous diseases, to provide a process for producing these new piperidine derivatives and to provide medicines comprising the piperidine derivative as the active ingredient.

The invention provides a cyclic amide derivative having the formula (I) or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof:

Experimental Example 1 Acetylcholine Esterase Inhibition Effect In Vitro

The esterase activity was determined by using a mouse brain homogenate as the acetylcholine esterase source by the method of Ellmann et al¹). Acetylthiocholine as the substrate, the sample and DTNB were added to the mouse brain homogenate and they were incubated. A yellow product formed by the reaction of the produced thiocholine with DTNB was determined on the basis of a change in absorbance at 412 nm to determine the acetylcholine esterase activity.

The acetylcholine esterase inhibiting activity of the sample was expressed in terms of 50% inhibiting concentration (IC₅₀).

It is apparent from the above-described pharmacological experimental examples that the piperidine derivatives of the present invention have potent acetylcholine esterase inhibiting effect.

The cyclic amide derivatives obtained by the present invention have such features that the structure thereof is quite different from that of ordinary acetylcholine esterase inhibitors, that they have a potent acetylcholine esterase inhibiting effect, that the difference between the intended effect and adverse effect thereof is quite large, that the effect lasts for a long time, that they are quite stable compounds having a high water solubility, which is advantageous from the viewpoint of formulation, that their utilization in vivo is high, that they are substantially free from the first pass effect and that they have a high migration rate into the brain.

Thus the object of the present invention is to provide new compounds effective for the treatment of various dementias and sequelae of cerebral blood vessel disorders, process for producing these compounds and a new medicine containing such a compound as the active ingredient.

The compounds of the present invention are effective for the treatment, prevention, remission, improvement, etc. of senile dementias; particularly cerebral blood vessel disorders due to Alzheimer's presbyophrenia, cerebral stroke (cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction), arteriosclerosis and external wounds of the head; and inattentiveness, disturbances of speech, weakened volitions, emotional disorders, inability to fix, hallucination-delusion states and behavior changes owing to sequelae of cerebritis and cerebral palsy.

The compounds of the present invention having a potent, highly selective anticholine esterase inhibiting effect are useful as medicines having such an effect.

The compounds of the present invention are effective for the treatment of Alzheimer's presbyophrenia as well as Huntington's chorea, Pick's disease and tardive dyskinesia.

When the compounds of the present invention are used as a medicine for such a disease, they are given orally or parenterally. Usually, they are given by parenteral administration such as intravenous, subcutaneous or intramuscular injection or in the form of suppositories or sublingual tablets. The dose of the compounds is not particularly limited, since it varies depending on the symptoms; age, sex, body weight and sensitivity of the patient; medication; period and intervals of the administration, properties, composition and kind of the preparation; and kind of the active ingredient. Usually, however, they are given in an amount of about 0.1 to 300 mg, preferably about 1 to 100 mg, per day (1 to 4 times a day).

The compounds of the present invention are formulated into injections, suppositories, sublingual tablets, tablets or capsules by an ordinary method employed in the technical field of the formulation.

The injections are prepared by adding, if necessary, a pH adjustor, buffering agent, suspending agent, solubilizer, stabilizer, isotonizing agent and preservative to the active ingredient and they are formulated into the intravenous, subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. If necessary, they can be freeze-dried by any ordinary method.

Examples of the suspending agents include methylcellulose, Polysorbate 80, hydroxyethylcellulose, acacia, tragacanth powder, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate.

Examples of the solubilizers include polyoxyethylene-hardened castor oil, Polysorbate 80, nicotinamide, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate, macrogol and ethyl esters of castor oil fatty acids.

The following Examples will further illustrate the present invention, which by no means limit the technical range of the present invention.

Example 1

3- 2-(1-Benzyl-4-piperidyl)ethyl!-5-methoxy-2H-3,4-dihydro-1,3-benzoxazin-2-one hydrochloride: ##STR15##

10 ml of methanol was added to 1.87 g of 1-benzyl-4-(2-aminoethyl)piperidine to give a solution and a solution of 0.53 g of 6-methoxysalicylaldehyde in 10 ml of methanol was added thereto. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min and then cooled with ice. Sodium borohydride was added thereto in small portions to conduct reduction. The solvent was distilled off and water was added to the residue. After extraction with ethyl acetate followed by drying over magnesium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off. An oily product thus obtained was dissolved in 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 2.77 g of N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole was added thereto. The mixture was heated under reflux for 1 h. The solvent was distilled off and an oily substance thus obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography. The product was converted into its hydrochloride by an ordinary method to give 0.31 g of the intended compound in a colorless, amorphous form.

{(N-Benzyl-N-methyl)-5-aminopentyl}-6-methoxy-2H-3,4-dihydro-1,3-benzoxazin-2-one fumarate: ##STR97##

10 ml of methanol was added to 1.62 g of N-benzyl-N-methyl-1,5-diaminopentane to prepare a solution, which was stirred at room temperature. 0.98 ml of 5-methoxysalicylaldehyde was added to the solution and the solution was stirred as such for 20 min. The reaction mixture was cooled with ice and sodium borohydride was added in small portions thereto until the reaction liquid turned pale yellow. After stirring at room temperature for additional 30 min, the solvent was distilled off. A saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate and ethyl acetate were added thereto and the solution was thoroughly stirred. An organic layer thus formed was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer and the extract were combined together and washed with a saturated aqueous solution of common salt. After drying over magnesium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off. 30 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added to the residue to prepare a solution. 1.91 g of N,N-carbonyldiimidazole was added to the solution and the resulting solution was heated under reflux for 3 h. The solvent was distilled off. An oily product thus obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 1.44 g of a colorless oily product, which was dissolved in methanol. A solution of 0.45 g of fumaric acid in methanol was added thereto. The solvent was distilled off to give 1.89 g of the title compound in the form of a colorless amorphous substance.
